There is such strong emotion here and for that alone it is a great capture. I wish the image was larger and that you brought us in closer to the main focus - let your audience experience the wash of emotions bring us right up close and personal. A closer crop that just has the father and daughter without the distracting backdrop would be more powerful - the only good reason to include the backdrop is if it had a visual clue that added to the strength of the shot (i.e. - An airline sign saying 'Departures'). The second thing is that half the time I look at the image I see it as a tearful goodbye the other half of the time I read it as tears of joy that her father has returned safe - since there are no other visual clues within the photograph as to which way to define the emotion there is no other way to tell your audience unless it is mention in the title (i.e. Tearful Partings...and normally I like the title to be the cherry on top to compliment the photo rather than fully explain it but I think it may help tell the story that this is a goodbye rather than a tears of joyful reunion)

I've been there done that and it was always an emotional moment with my loved ones. The only problem is the title. I would have titled it "Leaving again." Good luck.
